Dartmoor Brewery has announced the return of its sell-out limited-edition ale, XXX (6% ABV), previously released as Jail Ale XXX.
Originally brewed to celebrate the brewery’s 30th anniversary in 2024, XXX sold out within weeks of its launch, becoming the fastest-selling limited release in Dartmoor Brewery’s history.
The bold, full-bodied ale has since become the brewery’s most requested special edition, and now it’s back.
Pouring a deep amber colour with subtle ruby red hues, it delivers a rich and complex flavour profile, combining notes of malted fruit, zesty citrus, and orange with a smooth, lingering caramel finish.
It is hopped with Northdown, Challenger, Northern Brewer and Goldings, against a malt bill of pale, crystal, and wheat.
“The response to XXX last time was phenomenal,” said brewery managing director Ian Cobham. “It sold out within weeks, and since then, it’s been the most requested beer we’ve ever released.
“Bringing it back for a limited run felt like the perfect way to thank our loyal customers and celebrate the craft that defines Dartmoor Brewery.”
